WISCONSIN LEGrsLATURE.
The Pass Business Becoming am In.
tOlera BILE Nuisance. ~

Special to the Globe. - -
MADISON, Wis, Feb. SIN the senate
to-day bills were introduced
By DeGroof, establishing ferry across the
Mississippi river, from Buffalo Counter to
Wabasha, MIMI, a su bsttute for bill pre-
viously introduced, but which was objection
able to u majority of the house; by Scofeld
fixing the terms of court in the Fourteenth
circuit.
The bill requiring that notices of inSur-
ance companies be published in but three
papers in a county was passed. In the as
Sembly some important bills affecting rail-
roads were introduced. These bills are no.
ticeable. owing to the action of the several
railroad representatives in the city to-day,
announcing that there would be no more
passes granted to places outside the state.
The reason for this move is that certain
parties have been doing a lucrative business
selling passes which they had obtained
through the legislature. However. this ac-
tion cannot be said to be unsatisfactory to a
majority of the members. The pass busi-
ness has become
A VERITABLE NUISANCE
to legislators who are continually bored
with requests for passes from people who
are total strangers to them. The bills i'll
troduced are:
BY Hammel, providing that passenger cars
shall be heated by some means other than
stoves, heavy punishment being provided for
violation of the law; by Perkins, providing
that railroad companies shall keep on both
inside and outside all passenger coaches axes
and handsaws ready for use in case of acct
dent, and providing for S25 fine on each
car not so provided; by Hoen, providing for
the licensing of persons, companies and cor
porations engaged in the express business,
providing that mining companies shall pay
into the state treasury before receiving q
certificate OF incorporation So on each 81, 900
of capital stock. Bills indefinitely postponed
requiring mortgages of personal property
to show reason for the seizure of such prop
erty, and permitting married women to have
the same rights as witnesses in civil actions
as unmarried.
Only about two weeks yet remain for
the introduction of new business. and the
indications point to lively work of this kind
during the allotted time. The tomahawk
lobbyists are on hand in full force again
this week to keep lookout over their in.
terests. To-day the committee on labor
and manufactures listened to written evil
dence from prominent manufacturers of
the state in regard to convict labor. Most
of them advocated its abolishment.

-Partially-burned diagrams of both Pull
man cars show the number of passengers
probably in each at the time of reaching
White River junction. The additions Sc
cured here had not been put on when the
accident occurred. The Pilgrim shows
thirteen persons and the ST. Albans eleven,
which correspond in both cases with the
number shown by the cash account. Three
employees in these cars were killed. There
were three more identifcations to-
day-George j. Bell, OF Below
Falls; Francis Flynn, of Wor-
cester. Mass, and Lewis B. James,
of New Haven, Conn. The total number
of persons on the train as yet learned from
sources was eighty-four, including en-
ployes. Thirty-four are known to be dead,
twelve are known to have gone home, which,
with thirty-siX wounded, leaves only two
missing. Fifteen bodies have peen iden-
titled. The reports that Mrs. Horace Fair
banks, wife of eX-Goy. Fairbanks, was one
tie victims of the disaster is erroneous.
She was not on board the illfated train.
The official investigation was continued

The Row with Manning.
Special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The GLOBE cor
respondent called Oh Gen. Weaver tonight
to learn what further steps had been or
would be taken in the proposed impeach-
ment of Secretary Manning. He was dis
inclined to talk, but said the complaint
against Mr. Manning, so far as he was con-
cerned, had no connection with the silver
question but grew solely out of what he
claimed to be palpable violation of the
act Of May 81, 1878, and the act of Aug. 4,
1886, concerning the issue of United States
notes of small denominations. Gen. Weaver
was the author of the act of 1856, and of
the resolution of inquiry which brought out
Manning's reply. Gen Weaver laid the
matter before Mr.. Morrison, Mr.. Carlisle,
Mr. Mills. of Texas. and other Democratic
leaders and sought their advice. The
matter has reached the president, and it is
understood about the halls tonight that it
was a subject of cabinet consideration to-
day. 1t is understood the president regards
the action of the secretary as being all
wrong. If so, the president can remedy the
whole matter under his oath to see that the
laws are faithfully executed by order ing a
re- issue of all the notes that have been I'M
lawfully destroyed since July. 1887.
